# Live Photos

**Live Photos** are images (i.e. selfies) of the client's face. Typically, along with an ID document, they are used to perform [Identity Checks](https://docs.complycube.com/documentation/checks/identity-check).

Upon creating a Live Photo, the following inspections are conducted:

* **Faces analysis**: checks if a face is detected and that the number of faces does not exceed 1.
* **Facial obstructions**: checks if facial features are covered or not visible.
* **Facial orientation**: checks if a face is at an optimal position.
* **Liveness check**: checks if a photo is genuine and is not a spoofed photo of an image or photo-of-a-photo.

The live photos API allows you to upload, retrieve, download, and delete live photos. You can retrieve a specific live photo as well as a list of all your client's live photos.
